Is there a regulation about personel jewelry? (declaration, value limit etc)
I read some websites but they mention about importing not personal usage.
Hello everyone, I searched it but couldn't find a clear answer. Next week my mother will come to Switzerland by plane from a non-Eu country. We have couple of personal jewelry with her. We would like to make them bring. Total value is about 300-400 chf.
If it’s her own jewelry and she’s going to wear it here....really shouldn’t be an issue. There is no regulation of which I am aware. Just make sure she keeps it with her in hand luggage and not in checked baggage to prevent theft. Hope she has a good time.
I wouldn't even worry about it.
All those fancy pants on the planes with their lovely Swiss watches don't even get looked at twice despite having 5k+ on their wrists.
There is no burden to declare personal items. Unless you are planning to sell them when she gets here.
Chf 300-400 is what kids wear !! (think telephone just to start with)
Providing it isn't a fake Rolex/Cartier/Whatever, absolutely no problem, she just wears it as jewellery.
To give you an idea, a genuine Patek Philippe leather watch strap in croco retails for Chf 485.-- (just a standard strap......nothing else)

Here is the appropriate web page if you want to do further research.
Is this not maybe CHF300k-400k? Otherwise (No offense), this amount is very little to worry about.
I brought in a few pieces without any issues. Just make sure it’s clearly personal use, not new or unusually valuable, and you shouldn’t get stopped or taxed.
